Personal Narrative: Trixie

Improved Essays
Do you still have Vicki's e-mail that says we had the 8:30 and 8:40 tee times on Tuesday? I can't find it anywhere, but I'm sure that's what it said. If the times Vicki told us were wrong, that's not our fault. We've had those same tee times on Tuesdays for the last three years... We waited on the tee until 8:25 and then left. Trixie should have signed in, loaded up, and been ready to go way before 8:25. The only players directly behind us were two guys, and I never did see Trixie or any other gals. The Pro Shop knows full well if there is an opening on the tee, we will leave; and if Trixie is late, Ozzie could have paged the starter and asked that we wait for her...or told her to get a cart and join us. I don't know why Carol feels …show more content…
The $6 savings on the cart isn't worth waiting around for people who aren't considerate enough to show up at least a half an hour early for the tee …show more content…
There was a 4-some of guys on the fist tee, and Rosalie went right up to them and asked if we could play through. She knows them, and they were gracious enough to let us. We got out of their way, and then caught up with another group of 4 walkers on #7. Rosalie asked if we could play through, and they let us. Rosalie quit at 9, and Sandi and I finished in 3 hours. We saw the first group that we passed on the first tee when we were on #17 and they were on #11. Everyone knows we play fast; and if groups let us play through, we get out of their way. I don't see that as a problem, but an asset. We've always been very polite in asking to play through; and the guys have always been gracious to let us. Most guys want to play a leisurely game with their buddies, and I personally think they would rather let us play through than know we're waiting for them on each hole. Sandi played very well today (91); and other than losing three balls, I played OK

    The sun’s burning rays beat down on us as we dug through the layers of Egyptian sand and rock. We had only begun the excavation the previous day and had already uncovered one-fifth of the ancient pyramid. I, as well as a team of high-ranking archaeologists, had accompanied Sarah Parcak in an expedition to unearth a lost Egyptian pyramid. “How’s your section of the chamber coming along, Erica? We’ve just uncovered a new sarcophagus,” remarked Sarah as she passed by, carrying a large coffin.…

    Congressional Country Club, Bethesda, Maryland: 8:05 am... “Lockwood,” said Senator Bobby Richards, “you are the only congressman who can miss your tee time by an hour and march right up to the tee and start hacking away.” After resetting his ball by pulling up the tee some, he was happy‒hoping his ball would land where he was looking. “That is about all I do anymore, is hack,” Lockwood replied, with a kid-smile, as he pulled his lucky Boston Celtic golf glove onto his right hand and then tightened the Velcro strap.…

    The day started like any other, but the same could not be said for how it ended. I arrived at the town golf course, Longshore, about 30 minutes before my tee time. There was slight cloud coverage, minimal wind, and a comfortable temperature. Glints of sun through the clouds periodically illuminated blades of grass, almost signaling for the ball to be hit there. The bentgrass took a deep, rich shade of green from the recent douses of rain.…

    This spring semester it has been difficult to get hours because of all the rain we have been getting. This was beneficial I feel like because you had to communicate with the Sports information people to know when you could work with the rain delays and what changes have been made. I was supposed to work baseball on April 7, but it was raining the morning of and the night before making the fields unplayable. I talked to Kendra and she told me to come back for the two o’clock Men’s Lacrosse game. I got there thirty minutes early as usual.…

    Rileigh Deitemeyer A phrase I have heard a lot over the years is, “You look just like your father”, and each time my father and I would exchange a glance that to us meant, “little do they know”. This is because if you were to look at me next to my parents, you would have no idea that I’m adopted. My birthmother was thirteen years-old when she gave birth to me and was taking care of all her younger siblings in a household with drug and alcohol usage. Not being able to care for me, she gave me up for adoption.…

    Every hole they ask you, “can I borrow a tee?”. Of course you say yes because you can part with a tee. Next, they ask you on about the fifth hole, “can I borrow a ball? I just hit my last one in the water.” After you loan them all your equipment you start to feel frustrated and do not want to play with them anymore.…

    Coming Up to the Tee The aroma of freshly cut grass fills my nose as I step up to the tee. I swing my club back slowly, blocking out the millions of thoughts running through my mind. Swiftly, I swing down at the ball propelling it forward, straight towards the fairway. Clubs in tow, I head towards my ball as I begin my round of golf.…

    After years of blood, sweat, hours on end of practicing on and off the course, and with plenty of tears, I reached my childhood dream of making the varsity golf team as a freshman. Having commitment, playing not only for myself but for a team too, battling constantly along with hurt feelings from my self proclaimed golf expert of a father shaped me from a young girl into the responsible, trustworthy, dependable woman I am today. Sixth grade summer going into seventh, my pesky father managed to score me the opportunity of playing golf with the varsity girls golf team. At the time I had only played golf for approximately two years prior competitively. Not having the best background knowledge on how some girls act and play at the varsity level, I was wide eyed and taking notes.…
